All bandages, surgical dressings and hospital supplies come -under the Red Cross and the direction should be truned over to the Rev. Cross, which is the official government organ for this! work. Every member of the league should join the Red Cross and they can then do hospital work in the Red Cross work rooms. One may belong to the Red Cross and at at the same time be a member of the League, and vice _ versa. I am a member of both and when the Red Cross' work, rooms are opened I shall go in whenever 1 can and work; but the work of the two organizations should in no way be confounded-. The two should work hand in hand, side by side. Both are of vital importance. It is likea team of horses hitched to a great wagon.

For th reason we have worked with all 011 strength to pour into Its treasury 3100,000,000 this past week. The work of the league is to mobilize its women for service of a -different kind. It is to aid the government in the conservation of food that the armies in the field and the starving millions of Europe may have bread next winter. It is to provide and train women to take the places of the men who are called out, that the economic life of the nation may suffer. It is to look after the social and welfare conditions sur rounding the great army contonmcms, to protect our men and women alike from the vices which usually accompany the great army camp. To care for the sick and wounded, to feed the hungry and clothe the naked will give to any woman an opportunity for service. Jane B. Evans, State Commandant, N. L. W. 3. Wise-Witt. Saluda.

Some interesting items of German! news has been gteaned witliin the! past few days from letters found in j raided dugouts. One o fthem, written from Bielefeld, Prussia, June 6, tells i of an explosion in a munition factory j at Detmond and continues: ! I "It was terribly sad. On Sunday 90 victims already bad been buried. One woman, who lost four sons in the field, has now lost her three daughters in the explosion. It is strange that the Westplialian newspapers give no report of the accident " Another letter, written at Erfurt, Prussian Saxony, May 2S, says: "The church bells have pealed a farewell. This week al of them will be taken away to be smelted down and turned into shells. No eye; remained dry when the pastor mentioned that instead of ringing out tidings of an early peace they must now cause death and destruction." I I TOUCHING UPON THE NEWBERfil HIGH SCHOOL i ? >fr LJ*ZCL>i ?'li JUUibvt Your reporter met me on the street chat. He said "you uster write some cat. He said "you uster write some good pieces for the paper,, why have you quit writing?" I said, "oh, I'm too busy to write." mis nas put uie w thinking, and wondering if I can write something to call attention to a mucli needed improvement in our High school system? I am told that 1 ~ ~ ^Wtar nrritprc t.VlATl several pciovud, I, have written on the subject and failed to get their communications published in the town paper. Why? "Because somebody was hit." Now, the question I want to ask is this. Why were so many pupils in the 8th grade allowed to fail, through in and algebra, to pass to the 9th grade / It looks to me and to many others that their "failure to pass" is more reflection on the teachers than on the pu-pil3 who failed. If beginners in these studies were drilled in the first rudiments and helped to understand, instead of being sent home to blunder along as best they can, while their. teachers are attending social tunc- j tions, I feel sure there would be a j higher percentage of the classes pars up, instead of failing,-and being kept down until they quit school,' some cf them in despair. The teachers i 4 J m-tr lin-mhlo are paid to teacu. uuu tu u-ij uum-.v opinion ought to feel in honor bound, at their inconvenience if necessary, to advance their classes. If they Mn'i- t.hen let others be clected to take their places. I hope for the good of Newberry and the poor kids, that this matter will be investigated by the school trustees.

Finally the Vermonter be-j came tired and s?'d the only thing that would improve their city would j be to make it a seaport. The enthusiastic westeners laugh- j ed at him and asked how they could make it a seaport, being 30 far from the ocean. The V-ermonter replied that it I would be a very easy task. 'The-only thing that you will have to do," said he, "is to lay a two-inch j pipe from ^our city to the Gulf of j Mexico. Then if you feilows can suck , as hard as you can blow you will have it a seaport inside half an hour."? Kansas City Star. The Cat Came Back. Man?Say, boy!

We are in the front tranches. Beyond is No Man's Land, and the issue of the greatest conflict in all history is at the point_of our bayonets. The American people are not yet awake to this terrific fact. If they were no politicians would dare to risii with treason for votes, and no class would dare to rest in indifference while the calf to patriotic service echoed over the land. Too many sun tniniv 01 me war aa a horrible phantasm which tin have no power upon us. They still think our declarations are diplomacy and that at best we can pay our responsibilities in words and goods. This is a tragic, fatal error, and day by day the truth is shouted from some terrible 'fact. The submarine crisis is still on and the addiition of the American navy to the resources of the allies has not yet turned the scale or even checked the onslaught of the enemy. v This is not an issue of tomorrow. Wo are todav the sole hope of the allies. Without our strength they are done. More than that, it is not only they who will fall with our failure, but we ourselves, the America we have made and hoped to be. I The fight is' on for "s?now, not tomorrow.

Of course, they didn't have the electric signs blazing ar-rrxss the sky, they didn't know that red makes the best color for advertising, green the second and black the next, but they did understand th-e fjrst principles and apply them, in flaily life, says the Detroit Free Press. Perhaps the first bit of advertising copy was the "lost, strayed or stolen" <*1 vertisement written by if n? nvrn? whPH ? Pj^ypilan on n > ? -- ?? his favorite slave was missing. The Greeks had even greater skill. They advertised their concerts, musical affairs, pteys, of using bands t? attract a crowd, for they sent arotrod their cities a town crier, accompanied by a musician playing a harp or a lyre. He praised extravagantly in the best Greek the tnmg ne advertising. Later the people began to advertise privately, on the walla of their homes, giving informa&o* about the standing of the family oe~ ? -j copying the house and the stale 01 their finances.
